Atlanta Hawks

Frustration has been mounting within the Hawks organization at times and league sources say it resulted in an emotional locker room scene involving star point guard Trae Young following a recent loss. The Hawks have lost 11 of their past 13 games, including eight by double digits. They have won two of their past three, though. After a 130-118 home loss to Brooklyn on Wednesday, one high-ranking team official was seen telling Young that the team would be getting him some help on the roster soon, according to multiple sources. The trade deadline is about two months away.

To be fair, Atlanta (6-17) has been without John Collins due to a 25-game performance-enhancing drug suspension and had Kevin Huerter on a minutes restriction to start the season before he missed time with a shoulder injury. Those are two key pieces in the Hawks’ rotation that have been missing. The team could look to replenish its lack of veteran presence on the roster prior to the trade deadline.

I don't know if you guys noticed but as soon as Huerter came back you guy started to play well again. Not a coincidence!

:nod: oh, we've noticed.
It helps that it keeps Evan Turner on the bench and less Bembry (except last night, Coach Pierce with the brain fart).

One more offseason and Hawks will have a squad. Playing short-handed and 95% of talent is very Young.

We are not specifically linked, but could this guy be part of the help 'on its way'.

The help is John Collins.
But I'd trade Turner and a 2nd for Favors. Come home to the A.

Watched a lot of Pelicans games this year. He's pretty terrible and already lost a starting job there.

The problem is that Favors, except maybe one season with UTA, doesn't have any positive impact when he plays. He makes personal stats, but his team his loosing points on opponents 95% of the time. When it's almost all season like that, I don't see it changing. He would be the same kind of player than Parker, good offensive but bad on defense, both giving a neutral result
I think we have better thing to get from our expiring contracts

Without impacting the future, there seems little to be done to improve this year. Hawks are a .240 win % team. Wit eveyone available what is it? .300? How does the team add now wins performance while respecting the rebuild?

Patience is less a choice than a necessity at this point. This offseason, TS will be able to add some depth to the young core and next year will be much better. 2021-22 season should be the beginning of the Hawks long reign at the top of the league. Do it right TS

I'd definitely consider bringing this guy in. Not sure he constitutes as help...more like depth.

Is this a precursor to an impending trade? Open roster spot and $5 mil in capspace.

Taking in Love at 30m per for the next 3.5 seasons... It has to have multi teams involved. My idea which doesn't impact the future is Crabbe/Turner for Whiteside to alleviate Portland's luxury issues.

I don't think the thought is the Hawks getting Love, but rather being the 3rd team in helping to facilitate Love to another team.
We get compensated for our capspace.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
